Notes from 4 April 2025 design review:
- Edge will be installed and updated through Windows automagically anyway
- Uninstall won't work
- This would be like including safari for a FMA for macOS. Doesn't 'make sense' as it's baked into the OS.
@noahtalerman Question: Should we remove this from the list of apps we'll support through Fleet given the above?
